Super Dimension Technology Era

As the commander of the Mars expedition fleet, Luo Fengzheng, Wang Gangsheng and Fang Shengliang were floating in the shipyard area of ​​the New Jiuquan Satellite City.

Continuous expansion has made the new Jiuquan Satellite City reach an unprecedented scale.

A spacecraft is hauling a cylinder with a length of 30 meters and a radius of 5 meters. This is a satellite city skeleton built using nanorobots using previously captured asteroids as raw materials.

The satellite cities of the new humanity are divided into two types: asteroid-dependent satellite cities and gyro-frame satellite cities.

Among them, the Lagrange point L1 satellite city is an asteroid-dependent satellite city, and the remaining Xinxichang, New Jiuquan, and Xinwenchang are all gyro-frame satellite cities.

The gyro truss type satellite city is composed of three main bodies: the main keel axis, the central disk frame, and the auxiliary disk frame, and the overall shape is a gyro shape.

Among them, the main keel shaft and the central rack are the core structures, which play a supporting and maintaining role in the entire satellite city; the auxiliary racks are functional structures, and the work, living, and production areas are all on the auxiliary racks.

The cylinder hauled by the spacecraft is the assembly component of the main keel shaft. This thing is very strong. It is made of nano-alloy steel and is almost semi-solid.

At present, the length of the main keel axis of the new Jiuquan Satellite City has reached 2,520 meters, and is assembled from 84 keel cylinders.

Without the existence of this main keel axis, the strength of the satellite city would be difficult to support and maintain. The weight of the entire satellite city has exceeded 160,000 tons.

If there were no nanorobots from outer space to collect local materials, and with the transportation capacity of New Humanity on Blue Star, there would be no way to complete such a huge satellite city in a short time.

The heaviest satellite city, the Lagrange point L1 satellite city, has an overall weight of about 2.6 billion tons, which can be achieved mainly by using asteroids as the main body.

…

Luo Feng and three others were floating in the traffic pipe, chatting and looking around.

"Luo Feng, aren't you going back for the New Year?" Fang Shengliang held his head in his hands as if lying on the bed, and his body was pushed forward by the nanorobot.

Luo Feng, who was in swimming form, was stunned. Before he knew it, the Lunar New Year would be over in more than a month.

"I don't plan to go back for the time being, after all, the transportation capacity is limited now."

Fang Shengliang reminded: "By the way, the calendar will be revised in a few days. Remember to update the time rules and don't get the time wrong."

"Time change?"

"you do not know?"

Luo Feng scratched his head in confusion: "I've been floating on the moon for more than a month, how can I have time to understand the affairs of Blue Star?"

"It means to abolish the Gregorian calendar of the AD era and use the lunar calendar as the calendar." Fang Shengliang explained.

Luo Feng asked a question: "Well...how do we calculate this time now?"

Because according to the original time calculation, the day after tomorrow will be January 1, Year 2 of the New Era, but after changing to the lunar calendar, this period of time needs a name.

"The Service Commission has already given a solution, which is to add two months directly to the new era."

"Add two months? 13, 14?" Luo Feng was speechless. It was so simple and rude.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that we are still the ones who have experienced 14 months and one year in the history of mankind." Wang Gangsheng burst out laughing.

As a young man, Fang Shengliang naturally agrees with the implementation of the calendar amendment:

"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. The new era originally represents reform and innovation. The AD era has come to an end. We use two calendars, which is not conducive to internal unification."

Luo Feng didn't have any objections: "That's right, the age of God is about to end."

The Supreme Will's promotion of the new lunar calendar is actually to further eliminate religious elements. The Gregorian calendar of the AD era itself has many religious elements, such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc.

As a new humanity founded on science, although religious beliefs are not prohibited, Western festivals and the like will no longer be preserved.

Ancestor worship is the kingly way. God has brought ignorance to mankind. Our ancestors have overcome obstacles for us. We should erect monuments and statues for our ancestors instead of singing praises to the gods.

The calendar is also one of the supreme will's cultural unification strategies. After switching to the lunar calendar, even if the new white people stick to the tradition, the butcher's knife of time can erase everything.

If the lunar calendar was completely abolished in the country during the AD era, it is guaranteed that within 10 years, those traditional festivals would be further weakened to the extreme.

Things like calendars often have very important subtle functions.

Many new white people are actually opposed to the complete abolition of the Gregorian calendar and hope to implement a dual calendar system. However, the subjects of the highest will are the Chinese, so naturally they will not go as they wish and directly adopt the new lunar calendar as an overwhelming advantage.

…

Chatting all the way, the three of them drifted to the dock of the Kunpeng-class transport ship.

This is a space transport ship, a specially built professional transport ship.

Kunpeng-class space transport ship: with a full load of 15,000 tons and a payload of 8,000 tons, it uses a second-generation nuclear fusion engine with a maximum speed of 18 kilometers per second, a cruising speed of 12 kilometers per second, and a maximum range of 2.5 billion to 3 billion kilometers under full working conditions.

In case of emergency, the transported goods can also be used as working fluid, increasing the maximum range to 20 billion kilometers.

The Kunpeng class is more than adequate for use within the solar system, but it is a bit slower.

"The speed is a bit slow." Wang Gangsheng flipped through the data.

Luo Feng did not feel that the transport ship was slow: "This is a transport ship, not a battleship. If the speed is too fast, the payload will be reduced."

Glancing at the Kunpeng-class Fang Shengliang, he turned around and asked, "Luo Feng, I heard that the moon is building a mass projector. Can such a large spacecraft also project?"

"Yes, I heard Chu Bai say that the mass projector at the New Moscow Launch Site can project a maximum of 1.8 million tons at a time."

"So powerful?"

"For such an important vehicle as the mass projector, there is naturally room for design."

Fang Shengliang grinned and said, "It seems we will go to Mars very quickly."

"Don't be too happy. The first phase of the project will accelerate the launch speed to 22 to 23 kilometers per second at most. Don't think about eating a fat man in one bite." Luo Feng directly poured cold water on it.

"That's not bad. At least it saves a lot of working fluids."

The shape and facilities of the supporting mass projector have been designed on the Kunpeng-class transport ship.

Moreover, this Kunpeng class is not actually a transport ship, or it is a variant of the Kunpeng class.

A large number of living supplies and living cabins are prepared on it. It is a space living spacecraft, mainly used by the soldiers of the expedition fleet.

Once Luo Feng and others enter Mars, they will definitely need to live in outer space for a long time. Neither the Huo Qubing class nor the Xinxing Provincial class are suitable for long-term living. The small space can easily cause depression and other mental illnesses.

Therefore, based on the Kunpeng class, the Kunpeng class living ship was designed specifically for use by the space force to facilitate long-term space life.

It is equipped with a large number of deployable cabins, with a full set of living facilities, entertainment facilities, and green plant park cabins that simulate the natural environment.

Only the Kunpeng class can arrange these facilities so extravagantly. For a spaceship with a full load of no more than 10,000 tons, the internal space is very limited and precious.

Huang Mingzhe recommended this living spaceship to be equipped by the war committee, because he understood that working and living in the harsh environment of outer space for a long time would put a lot of psychological pressure on astronauts.

As long as costs allow, equipping the space force with complete facilities can effectively improve morale and cohesion.
